I just don’t think you understand,

Because if you sack Mackay, Malky Mackay,

You’re gonna have a riot on your hands.”

Cardiff’s owner, Vincent Tan, had given the manager Malky Mackay an ultimatum before the game against Liverpool: Resign or be fired.

Cardiff supporters protested with banners and with songs against Tan’s decision and was also given support by the home supporters (Liverpool) who applauded their efforts. Not even the eccentric billionaire Tan could turn the blind eye for the fans effort to keep the manager.

According to the BBC, the Malaysian withdrew his ultimatum to Mackay. Instead, the manager was called to mediation talks with the club chairman Mehmet Dalman to resolve the situation .
